Talk:Typological Features Template for Attie

Revision as of 21:02, 30 March 2010 by Dorothee Beermann (Talk | contribs) (Protected "Talk:Typological Features Template for Attie" ([edit=autoconfirmed] (indefinite) [move=autoconfirmed] (indefinite)))

(1a) shows a deverbal nominal derived by the prefix a-. I am not so sure that I understand what you mean by a- stands for AGENT. In the translational gloss for (1b) it says that the meaning of the derived noun is beloved. Wouldn't the thematic role of the beloved rather be the Patient? I assume that Mary is the Patient in the sentence: John loves Mary? --Dorothee Beermann 20:58, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

The gloss for (1b) renders a- as a perfective marker. Hm... --Dorothee Beermann 21:14, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

The following nominal template is a suggestion. Adjectives precede the noun and determiners are the final elements in the nominal clause. Numerals, quantifiers, relative clauses, noun phrase internal PPs and adpositions are not accommodated yet.

Some of the data in the database is not yet accounted for, and some data needs to be added to present a complete overview for the noun phrase.

Adjective(color), Adjective(quantity/quality) Noun ...... ...... Determiner
